looks like your doing a very nice job. may i ask the comination of color bulbs you are using? i use cool white and a day white bulb in my flouresent fixtures. everything i have is together that create the sperfect spectrum to veg your plants in. and it has always worked well for me. and it looks as though your bulbs are working fine for you. i would recommend lst-ing your plants and this will allow you to keep you light level and even out your canopy when you begin to flower.
you have to love home depot. it is better than your average grow store everything you need is there it just might not be assembled yet but it is there and cheap. 10 dollar chop light 2.50 buckeys and you are on your way to growing. i use a dwc and have had some very good success with my grows. sorry i am not just a huge fan of dirt. one of these i am going to try it. water 2x's a week and that is. doesnt get easier than that

I see your a home depot guy(buckets give it away lol). Looks like your doin good man, some reflective mylar might bump your lights a little.
I take it your not too worried about your grow being stealth or it would be enclosed.
Hows your temps? what are u using to circulate air? How many lights? what wattages?
Tell us a little more about your setup, I mean your obviously not doing too bad, you have some pretty nice plants there.

Yeah, I've been trying to get some Mylar...at this point I'd be happy with tin-foil. I really don't keep track of temp or humidity or Ph levels. I figured this shit's a weed. It's just gonna grow. I do however give it special soil. I posted all of it. Here it is:
"M'kay. So that one in particular is about 3 weeks old. I germinated it and planted it in Miracle-Gro Moisture Control Potting Mix .21%-Nitrogen .07%-phosphate .10%-iron .14%-soluble potassium. I give her about 4 hours of sleep. Water when I stick my finger in the soil up to the very first knuckle and don't feel any moisture. A put in Miracle-Gro 24-8-6 (Nitrogen/Phosphorus/Potassium) also ((Boron-.02%, Copper-.07%, Iron-.15%, Magnessium-.05%, Molybdenum-.0005%, Zinc-.06%)) about every 2-3 waterings. Working out beautifully for the other ones. I have a fan that blows on them pretty gently to build stem strength. And also, why is it that occasionally I get a white build-up on top of my soil? I was told that it's the salt from The Food and that I needed to "leech it?" (watering excessively until the water drains out of the bottom) I don't think it's water logged. I'm pretty precise on the ammount of water. I play it by ear, or eye, until the soil is moist." As far as light, 4 X 4'' florescent shop lamps 124V; 4 X 4'' Phillips 40W F40T12/WARM LIGHT/DX; 4 X 4'' Phillips 40W F40T12/COOL WHITE/K&B I have one of each bulb in each fixture. Equalling 8 bulbs. I have a 120V fan blowing on the plants and another blowing the heat out. But I've noticed I don't get as much light on the bottom leaves and under the canopy. I believe some Mylar would rectify this problem. I'm going to creat a different flowering room. They smell pretty good. I'm wondering when I should start budding these babies. Have to save up to get the HPS light. I need to change the food up a little bit. What do you think about the 20-20-20?
